Supporters include environmentalists who say it would reduce animal cruelty and potentially help slow climate change. Meat and dairy together account for about 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations.

I’m vegan for a few years now and will try this at my first opportunity.

The general public doesn’t give a flying fuck about animal suffering but maybe the same product without the suffering would be good enough to cause a switch.

Edit: Just wanted to add that I didn't go vegan because I dislike the taste of meat. The possibility of continuing to eat meat without the associated suffering is highly attractive to me. Whether I want to eat this regularly will depend on more factors, though, namely, how its environmental impact compares to simply eating plants.

Especially if it makes it cheaper and taste the same and gets the same nutrients and shit. I'll do it. But until then, I'm a meat eating, steak lover and that won't change

I was shamed by vegans a while back for advocating for lab-grown meat. I love the taste of meat, but I don't like animal suffering. I can't wait for this to be perfected.

From lab to slab, baby!
